Before you book: three questions that change the price

  1. Is this the self-pay price, and does it include the doctor, anesthesia and any lab or pathology? Those are often billed separately.
  2. Can you give me the price in writing, with the billing codes it covers?
  3. What happens to the price if something extra is needed during the procedure?

Quick take

  • UPMC Altoona is the lowest-cost option at $538 - $244 below the median posted price ($782), just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $782, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
  • This dataset covers hospitals only - freestanding ASCs, which routinely run 30-60% cheaper for the same procedure, aren't included, so it's worth asking your doctor whether one is an option.

Pennsylvania has a highly fragmented hospital market - Penn Medicine, Jefferson Health, Temple Health, and Tower Health compete in Philadelphia; UPMC and Highmark/Allegheny Health Network are engaged in one of the country's most litigated payer-provider disputes in Pittsburgh. The UPMC vs. Highmark conflict has directly affected patients' ability to use their insurance at in-network facilities. Rural Pennsylvania prices are substantially lower than the two major metro markets.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (19) report prices above $2,965, including Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital at $13,262, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $766 versus $4,670 inpatient (about 6.1× more), so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.

On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met ~$782
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$156
Out-of-network provider $1,720+

Frequently asked questions: hysteroscopy costs in Pennsylvania

How much does a hysteroscopy cost in Pennsylvania?

The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $174, with most facilities between $122 and $315 (based on 109 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices start at $538, with a median of $782; outlier facilities are left out. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.

Where is the cheapest place to get a hysteroscopy in Pennsylvania?

Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Pennsylvania data is UPMC Altoona in Altoona at about $538. By metro, Pittsburgh has the lowest median ($515). Freestanding ambulatory surgery centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data - ask your doctor whether one is an option.

Why is a hysteroscopy so much cheaper at some Pennsylvania hospitals?

Typical prices vary about 2.6× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Pennsylvania, the median cash (self-pay) price is $782 versus a median negotiated rate of $174 - about 4.5× higher. Asking for the cash price as well as your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a hysteroscopy in Pennsylvania?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.
